Jeremy Clarkson suspension leaves BBC facing multimillion-pound bill | Media | The Guardian

"The programme’s suspension could have big ramifications for the BBC’s commercial arm, BBC Worldwide, which broadcasts the series to 214 territories with a record global audience of 350 million viewers.

The BBC could be liable for penalty payments, likely to run into millions of pounds, for failing to deliver the final episodes of the series on time, as well as facing having to renegotiate the original deal price for a full series."

If my boss punched me in the face and got fired, the company wouldn't go "Well, we're going to suspend all operations until futher notice" No, my company would still run without him.

That's for failing to deliver episodes and not for firing Clarkson.

And of course people support Clarkson, he's entertaining. For all we know, that producer is an annoying little prick who Jeremy finally snapped on. It's all speculation if you don't work there and witness their relationships on & off set.

Cause we all know Clarkson is the level headed one and never acts like a prick.
